00:00Today's decision by Joe Biden to not seek re-election shows the difference between a
00:09selfless president and in Donald Trump, a selfish person.
00:16And I've got a lot of gratitude, Wolf, toward the president for his entire career.
00:24He stepped up and oftentimes it was reluctantly when he could have devoted his priorities
00:30and other directions.
00:31You know, his career has been, you know, essentially bookended by tragedy, elected to the Senate
00:36and then he lost his wife and his daughter and he found a way to heal his family and
00:41help his constituents.
00:43And then as he leaves the vice presidency and wants to coast into essentially retirement,
00:49you know, he loses a son, Beau, and the country is subjected to Donald Trump and he stepped
00:55up once again.
00:56And so my children, you know, they and many others will feed their families from the jobs
01:02he created.
01:03They'll drive on the roads he built, they'll power their computers and their phones by
01:07the chips that he manufactured, and they'll live in a land that are more arable and breathable
01:12because of the greenhouse emissions that he cut.
01:16So I'm eternally grateful to Joe Biden.
